That is almost as magical as the trading to reach the Salary Cap Floor.. how many players leave as a free agent and return to the team???

if they trade him he's not coming back.

Sunday, for his birthday!

It'll be like the Centennial all over again....again.

Plus think of the thousand of dollars in operating costs the Habs will save on doughnuts and corn chips.

Not a good day for you, sorry.

More than a bit. He's got less than 25 goals in 200+ games.

He scored less goals than i thought but had more assists than i expected. Still, 900K is a cheap contract for a guy who is ~25, big body and a former 1st.

$20.

lol.

Exactly, they put the offer on the table for approx 3 years, if he does not sign move him for a 2nd.. and assume he is gone forever

That's why I wrote "if they really want him".
Personnaly, I think 4M for a 3rd liner is a lot of money, even for a 20 goal scorer.

For a team that should rebuild and already have enough bad contracts, yes it is.

Can't wait for the Leafs Centennial.

Can you imagine how many "support our troops" ceremony they will have that season?

Can't wait.

$20.

lol.

Gomez makes that much in a nanosecond.

$20.

lol.

AK said he would take less than Market value, not less than what he's making now. Just saying there's a difference. Either way they should know what it would take to get him signed or move him. And for those who question his value at the deadline, I'm not sure there's a lot better than him available if someone is looking for scoring.
- habby

This.

If he wants to stay, get it done. If not, trade him, don't wait and get (frank) all.

He scored less goals than i thought but had more assists than i expected. Still, 900K is a cheap contract for a guy who is ~25, big body and a former 1st.

That's fine, but the comparison to AK is ridiculous.

I will not do the work, but it would be interesting to see what the average player who scores 20-25 goal for about 4 years is making. I would guess its in the 3-4 range.

The leafs and habs are going to finish closer in the standings than anyone wants.

Can't wait for the Leafs Centennial.

You honestly think there'll be more than there is now? Leafs will have 3 or 4 nights where they can honor somebody not dead....gonna be some reaching going on.

Who did that ??

Edit: We laughed of someone last year saying Habs should target Stewart for a 3M$ cap hit, and then i said he was cheap at his actual price tag.

The battle for 9th place?

That's fine, but the comparison to AK is ridiculous.

I slot AK in between McArthur and Backles in terms of results... and Backles is making $4.5

It's mind boggling, how much harder does he want them to stroke the Leafs?

Ak is worth 3.5 for 3 or 4 years otherwise trade him.
